After Twitter and Bing: FriendFeed with Real-Time Search
FriendFeed now offers real-time search. As announced on their Blog you just enter a search query as usually and you see real time results. The neat thing is that the results refresh automatically and that you can embed the search results in any web site. This is really good news as real-time search is more and more demanded. With content streaming in from all kinds of Social Media Services and Feeds such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and more, real-time search is useful for tracking your online reputation or trends. The search feature offers a pause button to prevent the screen from refreshing.
All in all a nice feature. The problem: The search results are limited to content of registered users only.
Let’s see how real-time search develops. Everybody is jumping on the bandwagon at the moment including Bing which now indexes Twitter accounts of some selected high-profile Twitterers in real-time.
Social Media and Search are getting along quite well together…
